Based on the few literature, one objective and hypothesis has been formulated, linear regression in SPSS is used to find out the impact of dependent and …
Spatio-temporal evolution of Chinese migration in Melbourne, Australia
This paper examines the changing spatial and temporal patterns of residential choices across different waves of migrants from the mainland China between 1941 and 2011. Moran’s I and GetisOrd Indices are computed to validate the spatial assimilation theory to identify the prevalence of spatial clustering of Chinese migrants at a local area level. The spatial autocorrelation indicates the spatial segregation of Chinese migrants during the first thr…
The daughter-in-law questions remittances: Changes in the gender of remittances among Indian migrants to Australia
In this article, I present a cross-generational analysis of the gendered meanings and politics surrounding monetary remittances. Indian female migrants to Australia, who contribute significantly to household incomes, have recently started to question the sources and directions of remittances. This happens when the woman's earnings are sent, without consultation, to the husband's parents for luxuries, while the family in Australia is struggling. W…
Coercive control of money, dowry and remittances among Indian migrant women in Australia
This paper examines how coercive control underlies financial abuse as men re-interpret the gender of money, stripping it of its moral safeguards. Financial abuse denies women access and agency over money. It works through male reinterpretation of how money is gendered – that is the way men and women own, inherit, use, manage and control money. Recent Indian migrant women experience coercive control when the male control of money is exercised with…
Money Talks: Explaining How Money Really Works
Money, Migration, and Family: India to Australia
This book tells the story of nearly five decades of Indian migration to Australia from the late 1960s to 2015, through the eyes of migrants and their families. Firstly, there is the marked increase of Indian migrants, shifting from the earlier professionals to a dominance of student-migrants. The India-born in Australia are the fourth largest overseas born group. Secondly, remittances flow two ways in families between Australia and India. Thirdly…

Money flows two ways between transnational families in Australia and India
Changes in the patterns of migration, communication and the growing economic power of Asia have contributed to changes in remittance flows. Indians who migrated to Australia between the 1970s and 1990s sent money one way to their transnational family. For the migrants who arrived since 2001, money and communication go two ways between India and Australia. Money comes from families in India for education, and often for housing, business and with f…
Contested Representations of Remittances and the Transnational Family
This paper deals with the changing idea of money and the transnational Indian family across generations and life stages. It draws on a qualitative study of 38 first and second generation Indian migrants to Australia. For first generation migrants, sending money home is one of the important ways of expressing belonging and care for the transnational family. Over time, the remittances become contested in terms of their value and their equivalence t…
Digitizing Pacific Cultural Collections: The Australian Experience
In the absence of specific policies that address the digitization of Pacific cultural collections, it is important to document the practices of Australian museum professionals and cultural experts who deal with close to one-fifth of Pacific cultural objects held in museums. Interviews with 17 museum professionals and cultural experts in Australia help advance reflective practice relating to digitizing Pacific collections. Drawing on principles en…
Transnational Family Money: Remittances, Gifts and Inheritance
In this paper we use the case study of professional Indian migrants in Australia to explore how family remittances function as a special kind of transnational family money. We draw on qualitative research to examine how gender significantly shapes remittances and gifts as well as inheritance in the transnational family. Transnational family money is continuous with family money in India in that money flows both ways between parents and children. …
Money Management and Control in the Indian Joint Family across Generations
Studies of money management and control will have more cross-cultural relevance if the family context of money across generations is taken into account. The study of money management and control in middle-income nuclear and joint family households in urban India illustrates the importance of examining money flows within the wider family context because there is a two-way flow of money beyond the married couple - between parents and adult children…
Indian Students in Melbourne: Challenges to Multiculturalism
The migration experiences of Indian students challenge traditional frameworks of multiculturalism in Australia. First, unlike earlier groups of migrants, Indian students pay to study hoping to become migrants. Indian families contributed AU$2.9 billion in educational fees, living expenses and tourism in December 2010 and generated 28,975 full-time equivalent jobs. Second, the students’ narratives are largely centred on mobility and acquiring grea…
Gender and financial accounts in marriage
We draw on the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey conducted in 2006, and a qualitative study of online banking and intimate relationships conducted in 2005-6 in Australia. We find that more women than men have a mix of joint and separate accounts. Migrants born in a non-English-speaking country, and those who have been remarried are less likely to have joint accounts only. Employment status is also important, but in…
Remittances as a Currency of Care: A Focus on 'Twice Migrants' among the Indian Diaspora in Australia
In this paper we examine remittances as a currency of care from the perspective of migrants among the Indian diaspora in Australia. We focus particularly on seven "twice migrants" from Malaysia, Singapore, Kenya and the United Kingdom, and two cases where direct migration of the parental generation from India has led to multiple migration for their children as they moved from Australia to the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. These ni…
Towards a sociology of money and family in the Indian diaspora
The linking of money, family and migration has become increasingly important with the rise in Indian remittances to US$ 21.7 billion in 2004, the largest amount of remittances in the world. The economic importance of remittances has meant that they have primarily been studied as money flows resulting from direct migration. Some attention has been paid to their economic impact at the local, regional and national levels in India. In this article, I…
Gender and the Use of the Internet at Home
In the United States and Australia, men and women use the internet in nearly equal measure, whereas in Japan, India and China, men continue to dominate internet use. This article focuses on gender differences in the use of the internet at home as seen from women's perspectives and draws particularly on open-ended interviews in 1999 with 30 middle-income Anglo-Celtic women with internet access in urban and rural areas of Australia. The study found…
Gender and the use of the internet at home
Studying the User: A Matter of Perspective
Providers and policy-makers are interested in understanding consumers' use of new media and technologies. The challenge, however, is to work out ways in which qualitative research on the social construction and uses of the new communications technologies can connect with and reformulate issues central to industry and policy. In this paper, I present a way of exploring the perspectives of the user, and connecting them to the language and perspecti…
Electronic Commerce and the Sociology of Money
There is seemingly little connection between conversations about electronic commerce at an OECD workshop in San Francisco and talk of ritual cash payments at a Maori funeral in New Zealand. Yet money is at the centre of both conversations. There is a hesitant acceptance in regional policy dialogues that the cultural meanings of money have to be taken into account before any consensus is possible on issues of electronic commerce. Recent sociologic…

Money, Marriage and the Computer
In this paper, I describe how I used the computer to develop a grounded theory of the social meaning of money and information. In doing this, I take up Bryman and Burgesss (1994) challenge for qualitative researchers to articulate as fully as possible the processes associated with data analysis (p. 224). This account is written in the active voice using the personal pronoun, for I am acknowledging agency (Van Maanen, 1979, p. 249) in the transfor…

Money in heterosexual relationships
Money in middle-income Anglo-Celtic marriage is joint and nebulous, whereas money in cohabiting heterosexual relationships is separate and calculable. The move from cohabitation to marriage is accompanied by greater jointness in the management of money. As the nature of the couple's commitment becomes more explicit in marriage, money becomes more nebulous and less calculable. However, in both marriage and cohabitation, the questions of equality, …
